Hero 10 beats the brave 8 in every aspect. The brave 8 is a good starter camera for kids or people on a budget but at that price I'd buy the Osmo instead. It just looks better and has better features. Dope review ....cheers
I read a lot of comments about the hero 10 being so much better, but when the Hero 10 overheats and freezes or shuts down, that akaso will shine and save the day! The video quality may not be as good, but it sure is better than no video!
If the Akaso is $150 or less it’s a banger value. That said the GoPro really outperforms it in virtually every category, but that’s to be expected at its price.
For stabilisation, the slow moving test has no value. I would suggest that the best test would have been to drive the bike up and down the curb non stop. Riding on flat road is not of value. You don't need image stabilization for a flat surface moving slowly. The 4K of the akaso looks not even as good as 1080p on the GoPro, but it's good for the price. The sound of akaso is finally acceptable. Finally the akaso internal mic is quite good which makes it fantastic for the price. For someone on any budget, the akaso is definitely worth buying. You can take very good video with decent sound. If the akaso could use an external mic, it would be sooo great. I will probably get the akaso 8. I want to attach it to my grandson somehow to see what he sees while he plays in the playground. I am excited about the akaso 8
there are so many videos showing fotage from the brave 8 that look blurry and not very sharp in comparison to gopros, but in the menu of the akaso brave 8 there is a sharpness setting puting this to about level 2 or three grately improves the image quality without over sharpening the image, many reveiws do not do akaso any favours
Thanks for the review. The quality of the Gopro appears very good. The Akaso is not too bad. But I will skip these devices for my handphone which provides satisfactory results.
Ordered the Brave 7. After waiting 4-5 months I contacted the company. They told me they had lost the order and had no more Brave 7s, gave me my money back but I was really looking forward to the camera for filming for my channel. Not very happy at all. Ordered the Osmo action instread.
Redskull, appreciate you brother. Could you please recommend the best action cam for nature shots sub $200 you've seen? I've been comparing the wolfangs, akasos, cheap older gopros, etc. Thank you and really hope to hear back!
@@RedskullPro For me the Akaso Brave 6 Plus is the best from the Akaso range. It would be nice to see if they made any improvements. If you can, make the comparison. As for this video, the color tone/ accuracy of the Akaso 8 is more close to real or the GoPro 10? The GoPro's tend to have a very warm color tone.
@@RedskullPro This would be a valuable video in my opinion. Anyone who is interested in Akaso/Budget cameras would find value in this. Especially at the Brave 6 Plus price range. If you are considering that the Brave 8 is possibly going to be around 250 then the 6 Plus/Pro becomes a different talking point for performance/cost ratio especially after the poor output/performance of the 7LE & 7. Also there is acknowledging that the little known Brave 6 Pro has dropped. What is that about... 🤯 Will it release outside SE ASIA who knows. Akaso haven't responded to me. Stay well & thanks for any consideration. **images sent to you of Brave 6 Pro over insta**
Hello, very good video, my question is, how long did it take you to get the camera to your house? I bought through the official website of akaso the brave 7 and after 6 months of waiting it did not arrive. Thank you.
Hi, but where did you get this Akaso Brave 8? I don't find it anywhere. Not even on the Akaso website. The Akaso's audio isn't bad. But here Gopro is clearly superior in everything.
For me so much better the Gopro hero 10 but it is super expensive action camera for the biggenir like. Thank you for sharing this video tutorial for the comparison about the action camera's.
I agree with you, Brave8 audio has improved and usable (unlike the garbage Brave7 audio) - Video quality isn't sharp at all but I'll wait for another review - could be that the exposure is struggling because it was a cloudy day
gopro sound is much better, the stabilization seems smoother on the brave when walking slowly (i guess because of that issue that gopro 10 has), but definitely far better when moving fast and the real stabilization kicks in. the image quality for the brave looks a bit soft, but i noticed the dynamic range is better and the overall video quality i can say it's quite pleasant somehow, so they definitely did a good job there. when panning the footage looks slightly smoother on the gopro, but none of them is perfect. I also like the quality of the 60fps... sadly that lack of stabilization is quite the deal breaker.
Yeah, a bit disappointing that it doesn't have stabilization for higher frame rates... i tried the "supersmooth" for a few videos but once the video is processed by the Akaso Go app...it doesn't play anywhere...just in the akaso app..
I think Akaso missed with the stabilization here, and yes, the video is a bit washed out..Big improvement on the audio however. This camera is a bit of a step up for Aksso, but still fails in overall performance. It should sell for about $150.00 at most, but we'll see what Akaso does with the price... Also, it should have a remote control. If not, then I would pass on it..
Thanks for the video!I use an akaso v50pro for the last 2 years.The gopro produces sharper image,so no comparison for me personally.I'm already saving for the gopro 10.
is it so difficult to try to speak more natural lol this is the strongest real true "RUSSIAN" accent everyone mentions all the time, I'm Russian btw :) anyways, awesome review/comparison, man, and a massive thx, appreciated a lot! This AKASO isn't that bad for its price, actually it's a pretty decent action cam. But GoPro is GoPro period.
Quality of the video's is not comparable , 10 pro is winner.,but is on big reason,to not buy gopro,all issues and errors is so annoying 🤪, others have a bit low quality, but is in the best quality 👌.
Akaso really worked on their internal microphone, the 7 has the worst microphone 😬 Finally someone uploaded a review for akaso brave 8 🥳 Next review please brave 8 and 7 comparison 😁
akaso has low bitrate so its blurry. better to buy the gopro 8, or 9 or 10, or buy dji osmo action. akaso is only recommended if youre buying below $100.
Funny to see all these goPro fanboys in the comments, come on, the brave 8 is a cheaper camera, I guess it would be around 175 , cause the brave 7 is currently at 159
That's how the cameras were sitting on the stand... but I decided to put the footage from the brave on the left side of the screen. What the title says is 100% accurate
I hope you kept the Brave 6 Plus to compare... Also Brave 6 Pro now exists, been meaning to do a video on it but lack time, have only found availability within SE ASIA. **sent you image through insta account**

Right 😂 like I’ve been using akaso a few years now, this is what’s keeping me from getting any GoPro
GoPro seems to have more contrast and detail, which surprised me that it still had better low light performance. Cheers
If the Akaso is $150 or less it’s a banger value. That said the GoPro really outperforms it in virtually every category, but that’s to be expected at its price.
I think this will be priced around 250... I could be wrong...and this is just an assumption
@@RedskullPro that would be nuts because it doesn’t really seem any better than the Brave 7 LE other than the audio maybe.
The GoPro has a way better image and sound quality but the Akaso has pretty good results considering it costs less than half its price!

Akaso brave 7 or brave 8 with the current problems it has ?

Boss i need underwater budget camera which one to buy
I am from India but there no buy option Akaso Brave 8, Please tells me where can I buy this camera.
Are both good for just unboxing videos or top down videos?
I wouldn’t use any for indoors recordings… if you don’t have a LOT of light the footage will not look good at all
I agree with you, Brave8 audio has improved and usable (unlike the garbage Brave7 audio) - Video quality isn't sharp at all
but I'll wait for another review - could be that the exposure is struggling because it was a cloudy day
I expect better footage on a sunny day. still cloudy out...

Is there EIS in 4k / 60? Akaso Brave 8
Im getting the akaso
Im going to color grade the video and pictures anyways and im not planning to get the gopro for professional use.
In terms of Details HERO 20 Perform well
Can you change the lens in this camera or can you add filters to it?
yes you can remove it and replace it.
Really informative review thx
looks like brave 6 pro still the best so far. for its price point.
Does it have an external mic?

I'm really curious to see what they will price it at
Good review, as usual.
As a video editor, unless the camera is perfectly still, I wouldn't want to use the Akaso footage.
Yeah, agreed
The GoPro while yes retaining some detail in the shadows it to me looked a bit like an over sharpened mess
GoPro Hero5 or Akaso Brave 7 ?
Brave 7
@@RedskullPro Thank you very much. Hugs from Brazil. Congratulations for the channel! I love your reviews.
Same price as osmo action?
I don't know the price yet... I don't think I was supposed to upload this video till October 12 either :)

I didn't keep the Brave 7... :(

Well akaso needs to fix that supersmooth mode
The akassoo is a bit soofftt comparing the Go prroo
yeah, a bit on the softer side...
Nice sounding accent :) great video! thanks!
Thank you! 😃
Akaso lebih terang.harganya l bih murah yang mana ?
Akaso is cheaper
Thanks you for sharing
Akaso really worked on their internal microphone, the 7 has the worst microphone 😬
Finally someone uploaded a review for akaso brave 8 🥳
Next review please brave 8 and 7 comparison 😁
I literally sold the Brave 7 a day before the Brave 8 showed up... I didn't know it was supposed to come
akaso has low bitrate so its blurry. better to buy the gopro 8, or 9 or 10, or buy dji osmo action. akaso is only recommended if youre buying below $100.
The Osmo Action is probably the one that offers the best value
@Redskull well definitely Dji osmo action 3 have a lot of problems, I have to return mine
It can't stabilize the horizontal line 😅
The brave 8 isn’t worth buying
gopro still has the better picture and audio processor
Why does nobody mention that the Akaso has optical zoom? That's huge.
Optical zoom? There is no optical zoom, just digital
Brave 8 microphone works better than hero 10
The autofocus must be turned off the filming was not a good result
Action cameras have a fixed focus.
Funny to see all these goPro fanboys in the comments, come on, the brave 8 is a cheaper camera, I guess it would be around 175 , cause the brave 7 is currently at 159
I just found out the price... $279...
It’s no contest Go Pro is far better sound, video quality , regards
Yep, but it's no contest : The GoPro costs around $500 while the Akaso costs less than $300...
It’s sad , but buy cheap buy twice ! I would rather have 1 good camera than 3 poor ones, regards
Thanks
Thank you for stopping by!
GoPro is has too much sharpening, i preffer the Akaso more soft image. Its better for post.
Nicer mic in akaso. Akaso still jitter when cornering while walking/ running
looking at these two in 2024, go with a used gp10.
Yeah, might as well
Great and very in-depth review of the not-so-great Akaso Brave camera ;-) I was really hoping GoPro had a contender this time around, but nope.
Yeah, maybe next year 🤓
Wow Price is never lie
both cameras 300 in my country
Same with DJI Osmo Action.
Looks very similar indeed
The video quality is better on the 10
Thanks for the test ... Akaso image quality is horrible ... omfg!
hmmm you pointing at camera and saying GOPRO HERO 10 but the title says AKASO 8... and vice versa... totally confusing
That's how the cameras were sitting on the stand... but I decided to put the footage from the brave on the left side of the screen. What the title says is 100% accurate
New vídeo: Akasso Brave 8 vs dji osmo action
Please sell akaso 8 to me after reviewing it, I don't have enough money to buy a new one😛
the Akaso looks terrible compared to the gopro, it doesnt even look 4k. I think the price of the gopro is worth it over the Akaso.
Beautiful Asmr Camera 🤏🤌

Sorry, but the microphone test from GoPro 10 is edited.
